Kershaw Speedform II

[twl]

How well is this knife built?
I like the blade material, of course. But how about the rest of it?
Any problems noted with this knife in any way?
Strong? Good lock? Easy to open? Carry well?

Owners: How do you like yours?

Go back and read the first word in your title. Now then, that should answer all your questions.

It's a great knife. As far as F&F, I'd say dang near perfect. It opens like it's spring loaded, the lock up is solid. I really don't understand the question of strong. If you use it like a knife is intended to be used, you can pass it to your grandchildren with confidence. If you use it like a pry bar, hammer, screwdriver, nail, or any of the other goofy things people tend to do with knives you're likely to run into problems. As far as how it carried, that's really a personal preference. I wish it carried a bit deeper in the tip up position, but that's just me. It's not going to fall out of your pocket or weigh you pants down. Buy with confidence, Elmax steel, and sculpted and polished G-10 backed up by Kershaw's CS, you can't go wrong.

Hi,
Thanks!
I was just looking for some comments from those who had/have the knife.
Your input was much appreciated.

Any others, please chime in!
I'm getting ready to buy.

It is a great knife. The knife reminds me a lot of the Leek, very simlar size. It's more of a gents folder, that happens to have some super steel. Go forth and purchase, you will love it.

Is the Speedform II strong enough for moderate work tasks such as cutting cardboard?
Is there really a flipper on this folder?
